Genesis 41:14-24

[14] Then Pharaoh  sent  and called  Joseph,  and they brought him hastily  out of the dungeon:  and he shaved  himself, and changed  his raiment,  and came in  unto Pharaoh.  [15] And Pharaoh  said  unto Joseph,  I have dreamed  a dream,  and there is none that can interpret  it: and I have heard  say  of thee, that thou canst understand  a dream  to interpret  [16] And Joseph  answered  Pharaoh,  saying,  It is not in me:  God  Pharaoh  an answer  of peace.  [17] And Pharaoh  said  unto Joseph,  In my dream,  behold, I stood  upon the bank  of the river:  [18] And, behold, there came up  out of the river  seven  kine,  fatfleshed  and well  favoured;  and they fed  in a meadow:  [19] And, behold, seven  other  kine  came up  after them,  poor  and very  ill  favoured  and leanfleshed,  such  as I never  saw  in all the land  of Egypt  for badness:  [20] And the lean  and the ill favoured  kine  did eat up  the first  seven  fat  kine:  [21] And when they had eaten them up,  it could not be known  that they had eaten them;  but they were still  ill favoured,  as at the beginning.  So I awoke.  [22] And I saw  in my dream,  and, behold, seven  ears  came up  in one  stalk,  full  and good:  [23] And, behold, seven  ears,  withered,  thin,  and blasted  with the east wind,  sprung up  after them:  [24] And the thin  ears  devoured  the seven  good  ears:  and I told  this unto the magicians;  but there was none that could declare  it to me.
